Two "Skid Kids" from Clapham, London--Cycle Speedway riders--were received at Clarence House by the Duke of Edinburgh's personal secretary. They are Tom Gregory, aged 18, of Union Grove, and Johnny Pullen, aged 20, of St Alphonsus Road, and they took the Duke a photo of their team, the Clapham Panthers, signed and inscribed, as well as a letter wishing the King a speedy and full recovery "on behalf of thousands of cycle speedway supporters". A former shipmate of the Duke, Mr George Kirby, aged 31, of Chesterton Road, Ladbroke Grove, London, wrote to Clarence House appealing for aid in the team's struggle to get a track and the National Playing Fields Association, of which the Duke is president, is helping the campaign.
